Since this was a last minute trip (a month in advance), we realize there are many things we should have done a long time ago:
- Character Dining Reservations (reservations start 6 months in advance) - keep calling (407) WDW-DINE (939-3463) to see if there are any cancellations
- Sign up for discount newsletters (mousesavers.com) - emailed around the 15th of each month with discounts to WDW hotels, park tickets etc.
- Flights: not that late, but the most convenient flights at low fares were gone. Look up alternate airports, use sites like faretracker, yapta, and kayak to keep tabs on fares
- Hotels: could have paid a little less if we had made reservations earlier. But thanks to the value Disney resorts, we're not paying an arm and a leg more
